Financial Advisor Leedey

Are you seeking a financial advisor to assist with your financial planning and retirement planning? If that’s right, you’ve come to the most perfect place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are top notch financial advisors. First of all, congratulations on being brilliant enough to seek professional help in this very important part of your life.

As you know, we only get this one chance at life and one chance to get this right. Life goes by way too fast. If we attempt to go it alone and fall short of where we should be, it’s often difficult to make up for lost ground. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to fight your way back and reach your financial goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of individuals ask for the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. The survey also found that individuals who do secure professional help have stronger financial returns than pre-retirees who do not. It’s wise to obtain help from a good financial advisor.

Many people start with basic questions like: (1) How much do I need to retire? (2) What’s the real difference between an IRA vs 401k? (3) How much should I save for retirement? (4) What alternative investments can I invest in? (5) SEP IRA vs ROTH IRA, which is better? The list of questions goes on and on. Finances and investing can be very complex and mind boggling sometimes.

We specialize in providing simple, proven and very effective financial strategies to help clients reach your financial and retirement goals. After all, we realize if a solution it too complex to understand, it will be too challenging to implement and watch and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we keep things simple.

Financial Planning Leedey

Our first step in financial planning and helping you succeed financially is to first get a baseline of where you are today financially. Are you on track to achieve your financial and retirement goals? Most people have no idea in the world. As we understand, before you can get to where you need to go, you first need to determine where you are at this time.

With our plan and with keeping things easy, we have created a series of our own, custom retirement calculators like; a retirement savings calculator, a retirement planning calculator and various retirement planning tools that are user friendly to use, yet very effective. Our simple retirement calculators are completely free to use and they are online, so you can log in and use them at any time it is convenient with you and your schedule.

Many of our clients use these very often running various “what it” scenarios to see how small edits in their financial planning can impact their net results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you begin with could not be any easier to use. You simply key in your age, the age you would like to retire, the amount you currently have saved for retirement now, how much you contribute on an annual basis, your desired yearly income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently getting on your investments and the rate of return that you wish you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that easy. Then you just click the calculate button.

The results of your inputs pull up right away. It will tell you if you are on track to reach your retirement goals or not, and if not, it will show you exactly how far away you are in funds, years and percentages. If you’re not on track, the calculator will even show you the 4 critical areas that you can change to make sure you obtain your goals. Based on your findings you can go back and plug in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth and see if you can reasonably make adjustments to reach your financial goals.

It’s really very fun to do. For most people it’s a real eye-opener. Discovering where you are now and being honest about your current standings is half the battle.

Note: We work with a lot of high net worth clients who love using our plans to grow their funds and protect themselves from rising tax rates, creditors, soaring fees and keeping their investments private and off the Government grid. However, lots of our clients consider themselves to be financially average.

If you are not on track to reach your financial goals, please don’t be discouraged. Today 61% of Americans fear running out of money during retirement more than they fear death itself! Our objective and our job is to work with you and help you get your finances on track and help you create a lifetime, tax-free retirement income that will last as long as you live.

As financial planners, usually our next step is to help protect you from spending more than you need to on taxes and also protect you from what we think will be, future tax rate increases. Did you know that the amount most Americans spend on taxes is the single largest financial cost of their life time? Many people have no clue, yet it is true for most of us. The average American spends more on taxes than they do on their mortgage payments, car payments and college for their kids, etc.

That’s why it is so important for us to focus on this major expense and reduce your taxes as much as you can. We believe that our flagship financial program that we happen to call The Barefoot Retirement Plan is the single best way to protect yourself and save on taxes that’s legally allowed in this amazing country of ours. It truly is that powerful. In a nutshell, this is how our plan works.

You put in post taxed dollars to the plan. Yes, unlike your IRA and 401(k) (which are called qualified plans) where you contribute pre-taxed dollars, our plan requires you to pay the tax on the money before you invest it. On the surface this may not appear as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please stay tuned. We will clearly demonstrate how our program will blow away these other plans, without a doubt!

You funds then grow tax differed within your account. If you need your funds for any reason at all like sickness, an unexpected expense, an unexpected opportunity or investment, university savings or anything under the sun, you can simply take your funds out at any time. We will show you exactly how you will be able to get your funds at any time you wish with zero penalties, no fees and no taxes.

Then, when you retire, 100% of your retirement funds that you pull out to live on are completely and totally free of taxes. This is so powerful. At the time this is being written, Bernie Sanders is running for President. He is suggesting a 92% top Federal marginal tax rate. Yikes! Plus last week the US debt just surpassed the 19 Trillion mark. (If you look at our National Debt Clock, it will amaze you.) It only took us 13 months to go from 18 trillion to 19 trillion. With the way things are going now, most experts believe that the future tax rates will have no choice but to rise significantly.

By setting up a Barefoot Retirement Plan you can totally protect yourself from having to pay any taxes on the money you pull out. This one benefit alone can make or break most people’s retirement hopes and dreams.

Retirement Planning Leedey

The next action we take in our retirement planning is to get you protected from market losses. Second to taxes, stock market losses are the next big event that can crush your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you hoped to. Large numbers of investors lost upwards of 50% of their accounts in the Dot Com crash of 2000. Then, just as soon as many of them were just getting back to where they were before the last crash, we had the next market crash of 2007/2008 and many investors lost another 40% to 50% of their portfolios.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to retire. When the crash happened and they lost almost half of everything they had spent a lifetime building up, it was devastating. That is why the team at Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros works so hard every day. We want to get our clients 100% protected from market losses and crashes, and yes, it really is possible.

With our unique plan you are totally guaranteed not to lose a single dime due to market downturns, losses or crashes. I cannot even begin to express to you how much peace of mind this gives to our clients. Imagine how much deeper you could sleep at night knowing that you were totally guaranteed not to lose a penny in stock market declines. This one feature alone can make the difference between you having the retirement of your dreams or being wiped out.

When you get our plan set up, when the stock market goes up, you lock in your gains each year. When the market goes down, you lose nothing and your previous gains are locked in and protected from losses. This plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Leedey

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investing and financial goals. One of the strong benefits of our unique and patented flagship program that we offer is that our plan gives you the option, if you want to use it, to leverage your returns and actually earn 2 different returns, on the same money, at the same time. Yes, we know the first time most people hear this, it sounds too good to be true and may even question if it is legal. We promise you it is squeaky clean and as legal as legal gets.

Until recently plans like ours have mainly been used by wealthy families, politicians and giant corporations. Believe me, they do know the best ways to protect their money from taxes and losses. That’s why they use these plans so widely. Now these plans are more available to the average investor and not just the rich.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many clients choose the blended index plan that has a 0% floor and a 17% cap. So if the value of the indexes’ tracked goes up twenty percent in a given year, you earn 17% on your funds, and your gains are always locked in. Or, if the value of the indexes goes down 20%, you maintain your 0% floor and have no losses at all.

You then have the option to borrow the majority of the funds from your account. (You have to do this correctly and we’ll show you how), and you can then invest that money into ANYTHING in the planet that you wish. You don’t have to get permission from anyone to do this. You are not limited to a list of investment options. You get to choose to put your money into anything you want or need to, no problem.

Let’s use an example. Say you have $100,000 in your Barefoot Retirement account. That 100k earns between 0% to seventeen percent each year. Then you decide to borrow 80k from the account and put it into a sweet real estate deal you found. Since you borrowed the funds from your account and did not take them out, your account value remains 100k and you continue to earn the zero percent to seventeen percent on the entire 100k account value.

Additionally you earn whatever return you get on your $80,000 that you put into your real estate deal. So you are actually earning 2 different returns on the same money at the same time. This is a powerful strategy and can have a very positive impact on your total returns.

We could go on and on about all of the many benefits of this patented plan but we are limited in space here. The best way to get more information on this plan is to give us a call. We’re happy to speak with you and answer any of your questions. More importantly we are happy to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation with you to best determine if this could be a good fit for you and if so, we can run some numbers and show you exactly what a Barefoot Retirement Plan would look like for you.

I encourage you to take action now. You know how things pop up and our attention can be lost in a moment. This is far too important to leave to chance. Don’t wait. You have nothing to lose. Give us a call right now and at least take the first step towards what could be the best move of your life. We’re looking forward to talking with you.
